Old City Java

Wow! This place is great! It is everything you could want in a coffee shop. The atmosphere is cozy and warm with lots of comfortable seating and they even have Van Gogh's Starry Night painted on the ceiling. The building is old which adds a lot of character as well.

The coffee was rich, not bitter, just perfect. I got a cappuccino and it was great for a cold day. I wasn't able to try any pastries this time but maybe I will in the future because they looked exceptional as well. I will definitely be back!

Nice lowkey place to hang out and read or do some work. My partner ordered the latte and I got the mocha. You could taste the high quality and richness to the beverages. Check out the seating area in the alleyway and enjoy the architectural features of Old City Java!

A nice surprise, this cute lil alley. Might need another latte to fuel up for all day and night music at Big Ears music festival. Worth a visit with a friend, or a book, or that cute girl you've been wanting to ask out forever! ;)

Shawn and Meg are pioneers in this town! Brought the 1st gourmet beans from around the globe to the downtown community over 10 years ago, still making the magic beans hop. Downtown Knoxville is a better place because of you and your kind staff. Kudos my friends! 🫵🏼🙌🏼

Great place to stop in for coffee or tea. The staff are very friendly and kind.

This is a great coffee place. There is sitting everywhere inside and outside. The staff was so nice. The environment is a chill and peaceful. The bathrooms were clean.

I stop here often and am never disappointed. The selection of pastries is great- sweet and savory. The espresso drinks are my go to, and the seasonal drinks are creative and delicious.

Eclectic coffee shop with various hot and cold brews as well as teas. They offer daily special drinks for people that want to try something different. The barista was friends and there were a lot of tables inside and about a half dozen tables outside.

Adorable local shop with great atmosphere. Don't miss out on their hand-made from scratch pastries, they're the best in Knoxville. Great coffee too.

Great little place with a very unique decor/ambience. They have a small case of homemade bakery items. All of them looked delicious (see pics). Several types of coffee, plenty of seating. There are two rooms. One of them has the "Starry sky" on the ceiling. (see pics)
